Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water

This article explores the potential environmental causes of Parkinson's disease, challenging the long-held belief that genetics are the primary cause. It highlights the case of Amy Lindberg, a former Navy officer who developed Parkinson's after being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. Recent research suggests that environmental factors, such as exposure to chemicals like trichloroethylene (TCE), may play a significant role in the development of Parkinson's, with implications for prevention and treatment.
